After we took a look at the process behind the design of the lead colorway of the Hoop Structure, here we have a look at even more renderings and an upcoming colorway that is just now hitting stores. Once again, we get a glance at Nike Urban Sportswear Design Director Marc Dolce’s design process.

Really ? They got away with biting the best VI Infrareds known to Mankind. How could Nike tease us into thinking these are the VI’s . What a damn shame ! You can’t even play like that. Give us the REAL VI WHITE/INFRARED Jays !!!!!!
HOT!!!
Nice, very nice. Thanks for posting the rendering Nick.
Super sick but i got the OG colorway and one of my tongue pull tabs is down and wont stay up how the hell do i fix that.. lol
These are HOT, one of the few hybrids, that came together perfectly.
i like the VIs MUCH more
True, but these won’t be around $1000
i like the ones in the drawing more
because of midsole
This shoe is gonna have some real nice c/w’s. So much potential it has. Very excited!!
very jordan but it’s HOT
DOPE NESS ! ME LIKEY
If this shoe came with lacelocks like the VI, that would be perfect.
These are sick!!!!
I want a dope colorway that arent Jordan’esque. The colorways i like are lookin like J 6’s.Both white n black versions.
nike jealous of jordan cause dey bitin hard
umm, nike OWNS jordan..
Damn, those are freakin’ sweet! Now can we get the real Infrared VI’s?
SIMPLY “NICE”
shoe rocks!…i see it as a mixture of new and old school plus most of the previous style by nike
i prefer Jays(6)! Way hotter. My opinon
these shoes are stait i gues but the white infrared VI’s are retroing some time next year but just like the black infrareds they are more of a varsity red than infrared so that SUCKS!!!!! but they gonna be like $180 so i think ill wait till next year to get those
they kkinda look like the 6s
